                        This tweak lets you uninstall Windows Components such as 

                        MSN Explorer and programs in the Accessories menu on the 

                        'All Programs' menu.



                        1. Edit the hidden system file SYSOC.INF in the 

                        Windows/Inf folder (or WINNT/Inf if you upgraded from NT 

                        or 2000).

                        2. Delete all instances of the word HIDE. Don't put any 

                        spaces inbetween the commas.

                        3. Save your changes.

                        4. Open 'Add or Remove Programs' in Control Panel.

                        5. Click on 'Add/Remove Windows Components. You will now 

                        see options for 'Accessories and Utilities' (the 

                        programs in the Accessories menu on the Start panel), 

                        MSN Explorer and several other components.

                        6. Uncheck the tick box to remove that component or 

                        check it to install it from your XP CD.



                        Be careful what components you remove though!
